Guest guest Posted February 23, 2002 Report Share Posted February 23, 2002 Dear Vicki, << viorica (viorica weissman) Dear All, I posted that because there is something in it that I can't entirely agree with. I would have never known who Paul Brunton was hadn't I discovered the Maharshi first. I read Paul Brunton's book out of curiosity only to know how P.B. presented Ramana to the world. After satisfying this curiosity I lost any interest in PB and his books. Ramana Maharshi needs nobody to bring devotees to him and his teaching. vicki KKT: The book A Search in Secret India by Paul Brunton was published the first time around 1935 when Ramana Maharshi was unknown in the Western world (but not in India) The book quickly became best-seller and RM was widely known in the world.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2002 Report Share Posted February 24, 2002 In the Thirties there was not much available about Ramana, Vicki, and so the Brunton-book was of important meaning for many as Brunton also was a professional and successful writer. Not Brunton brought devotees to Sri Ramana - but the book was a means to make Ramana known to the West. Today we have a lot of reminiscences, talks and other books available, so the Brunton book did not play any more this important role. It is Ramana himself who draws people to him - by what means is not of such importance.
